Possibly the biggest gun that I haven't mentioned though is Zendaya.

Thank you.

She does always go, usually.

She didn't go, and that does read like a boycott.

And some people are saying, if you're boycotting, say you're boycotting.

I don't think so, necessarily.

You don't want to necessarily make everything about your politics.

But I just have one question.

I think the big charity galas of all types have always been, have always reflected the moment they're in, and they've always been a path to accessing status

in a particular society.

Watch the Gilded Age.

It's all about that.

Yes.

But like, you know, you're reflecting the time.

So you're going, a big gala ball is the way you get all the fancy people together.

This being a tech bro billionaire ball is very reflective of the moment we're living in.

So is it surprising in any way?

In the 1980s, New York society was all about glitz and flash and Donald Trump.

And now we're like, again, I don't know, I kind of feel like what did we expect to happen?

Because you're eating the canapes while saying, you guys are disgusting while shoveling the free drinks into your mouth.
